When Li Yue slowly opened her eyes, she found herself lying in a completely unfamiliar room, and the unfamiliar surroundings made her feel uneasy. She tried to sit up but found that she couldn't move at all, her limbs were powerless. Li Yue anxiously shouted, "Help! Is anyone there?" Her voice echoed in the empty room, sounding particularly desolate and desperate. However, the only response she received was silence, which made her even more anxious. At that moment, a sound of the door being pushed open broke the deathly silence. The door slowly opened, and a figure appeared before Li Yue - Mo Hansheng, dressed in a dark long robe.
Mo Hansheng had a cold and stern expression, but there was a hint of concern in his eyes. He walked to Li Yue's bedside, looked down at her, and calmly said, "You're awake."
Upon seeing Mo Hansheng, Li Yue's anger intensified. Her eyes were filled with confusion and anger as she struggled to sit up, but she couldn't move.
"What are you doing? Why am I here? What have you done to me?" Li Yue demanded loudly.
Mo Hansheng looked at her, a hint of pain flashing in his eyes. He reached out and gently held Li Yue's hand, his tone softening a bit: "Li Yue, I know you are confused and angry right now. But I have to do this because I love you."
"Love me?" Li Yue sneered, "Is this how you show your love? Imprisoning me, taking away my freedom? You're truly insane!"
Mo Hansheng fell silent, but he was afraid of losing her, afraid she would leave him. So he chose this extreme way to keep her by his side. "I'm sorry, Li Yue," Mo Hansheng said softly, "I've given you a sedative so that you won't leave me. I will give you time to slowly accept me, to fall in love with me, but I must ensure you won't leave me."
Li Yue listened to his words, feeling a mix of emotions. She knew that Mo Hansheng had genuine feelings for her, but his actions were unacceptable to her. She wanted to struggle, to escape, but her body was completely powerless.
"Mo Hansheng, by doing this, you will only make me hate you more!" Li Yue exclaimed.
Mo Hansheng remained silent, looked deeply at Li Yue for a moment, then turned and left the room.
Li Yue lay quietly on the bed, with Mo Hansheng's words echoing in her ears. Every word of his felt like a heavy hammer, fiercely pounding on her heart. She knew that Mo Hansheng's feelings for her were genuine, that deep love was undeniable. But his actions made her feel suffocated, as if she were bound by invisible chains, unable to move.
In the following month, Li Yue only saw Mo Hansheng a few times. However, when Mo Hansheng came for the second time, he brought unexpected news. He ordered his subordinates to bring the antidote for the soft tendon powder to Li Yue. This meant that she could finally move. Li Yue took the antidote, feeling a mix of emotions. But Mo Hansheng still refused to let her leave.
So, Li Yue began to plan her escape. And Mo Hansheng, seeming to realize her intentions, started to guard her more closely.
【One month later】One morning a month later, as the sunlight pierced through the clouds and spilled onto Mo Hansheng's resolute face. He was dressed in armor, holding a long sword with fresh bloodstains still on the blade. He gently pushed open the door and walked steadily to the table inside, placing a shimmering metallic seal down.
Li Yue looked at the seal on the table, a hint of astonishment flashing in her eyes. She stood up and walked to the table, her voice slightly trembling as she asked, "What is this?"
A cold smile tugged at the corner of Mo Hansheng's mouth, his eyes revealing endless chill. "This is the seal of Wuyan City."
Li Yue was shocked at the words, "The seal of Wuyan City! What have you done to them?" Her voice revealed a hint of unease and worry.
Mo Hansheng snorted, "Hmph, Wuyan City is now under my control in Mo-Cang City. What do you think I did to it?" His voice was full of dominance and confidence, as if everything was under his control.
This statement was like a heavy bomb, stirring up a storm in Li Yue's heart. She looked at Mo Hansheng in disbelief, filled with complex emotions. Wuyan City, once a powerful entity, had been brought down by Mo Hansheng in just a month, becoming a subordinate of Mo-Cang City. What kind of battle and struggle was this?
Li Yue's mood was like a huge stone thrown into water, causing ripples to spread. She stood by the table, looking at Mo Hansheng with a complex expression, trying to find some answers from his face, but his cold and unfeeling expression only made her more confused.
"How... how did you do it?" she asked with difficulty, her voice filled with incomprehension and doubt.
Mo Hansheng looked at her, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes. "What, you think I can't do it?" he retorted, a disdainful smile playing at the corner of his mouth.
Li Yue frowned, although she was dissatisfied with his attitude, she was more amazed by his strength. She knew that Mo Hansheng was not someone who liked to exaggerate, if he said he could do it, then he could definitely do it.
"But, Wuyan City..." she wanted to continue asking, but was interrupted by Mo Hansheng.
"Wuyan City is already in the past," Mo Hansheng said lightly, as if discussing something insignificant. "Now, you just need to know that it has become part of Mo-Cang City."
Li Yue fell silent for a moment, but the shock in her heart did not diminish. She understood that Mo Hansheng's words meant the destruction of Wuyan City, and also meant the crisis of Qingli City. And all of this had happened in just one month.
She gazed at Mo Hansheng and said coldly, "What about Qingli City?" Her eyes were full of coldness.
Mo Hansheng smiled slightly, a smile that carried a hint of cruelty and ruthlessness. " Qingli City? " he repeated the name, and said coldly, "In three days, it will no longer exist!"
Li Yue's face instantly turned pale, her eyes filled with fear and unease. Qingli City was her home, her everything. If Qingli City was also destroyed, then...?
"You!" Her voice trembled.
Mo Hansheng looked at her, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, then turned to look out the window as the sky began to darken. "I will come to see you again in three days," he said before turning and leaving.
Li Yue stood still, as if her body had been frozen in place, unable to move, filled with fear and unease. She thought of her family, the people who had accompanied her as she grew up. Her heart was filled with despair and helplessness, not knowing how to face it all.
Mo Hansheng had already left, his figure gradually disappearing into the dim sky. Li Yue stood still, her gaze empty and lost. She didn't know how to face this cruel reality, didn't know how to protect her home.
But she knew she couldn't give up. She had to be strong, had to find a way to save Qingli City and her family. So, she began to take action.
